After watching the movie I was very surprised. I loved the "old" graphics style, the red lines of the recognizers & Sark's carrier, the smooth surfaces of the lightcycles and so on. The music was awesome, it was perfect! I just love old computers and everything done by them. I have a real Commodore 64 with 1541 disk drive and a loading booster module (games load up in seconds!), and I also have a 386SX computer running Windows 3.1 and DOS 5.0. My 386 is a little bit different, I think it can learn. When I bought it from our school, it had some problems with its system clock. Almost every time I booted, the clock was wrong and I had to reset it. But, after some time, the problems were more rare and now the clock doesn't jump out of time anymore. Another strange thing was, when I got SVGA driver for my 386. I installed it, and the colors seemed out very strange. After I executed a program and then quitted it, the colors changed to a complete mess. But, after some months, the driver seemed to have stabilized itself and now the colors don't change anymore. How can that be? Programs shouldn't be able to alter themselves, am I right? Though, I have noticed a lot of similar program changes on my 386 during the years. I am the Master Control of my 386, I know exactly what it does and how I can fix jammed Windows (power off and back on, tadaa, Windows works again!) and other problems. I also have a database of 40 000 horse pedigrees on that computer! Some people say that old computers are so damn slow. But they aren't! If you use the right kind of programs, designed just for that processor, they can be incredibly fast! My 386 is just perfect for me, the only thing I can complain is the small hard disk space, just 99 megs. It's almost full, and I'm getting a bit desperate...
So, what do you other programs/users think about old computers? Aren't they just great or what?!

You make some good points, Lightforce. As long as you don't need to expand, and you're content with the apps from that era, an ancient computer can be a really fun thing to keep around. where to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill onlineabortion pills online abortion questions cytotec abortion

You know, I saw in the theater at age 11 in the summer of '82. The look and style of that film (especially the true CG elements) totally blew me away, and STILL does to this day.

I can honestly say, that the visuals in TRON - the look of everything, the style, even the motion - with that computery like movement everything had was and still is one of the coolest applications EVER of computer animation.

Funny thing - I even remember watching the evolution of computer animation as they started to try and make things look more real and I was angry because they were looking less TRON (in other words, less cool to me) as they "improved" on computer imagery. Don't get me wrong - I LOVE that anything can be realized with modern CGI, but I miss the old (and cooler than ever) "perfect" look and style of the TRON CGI in today's art and CG applications.

Old computers. I still have my vintage Commodore 64 and Apple //c computers. My Commodore was HEAVILY utilized back in the day - even had a cool modem that offered a whopping 900 baud rate! Ooooo. Sold that though But still got everything else for it! Disk drive too!

My Apple //c was my favorite though. I got about a year or so after my Commodore. The colors (graphics) weren't as well developed as the Commodore, nor was the audio, but that thing ROCKED! I just had it unpacked a few weeks back, and rummaged through some old vector animations made with my favorite animation program - "Fantavision"! The computer still works great, though the keyboard has stiffened up and the plastic color changed But it otherwise functions perfectly! I was practically ATTACHED to that thing for YEARS!

I also have almost all of my original vintage hand-held games from the early 80's. I have Tomytronic TRON, Tomytronic Pac Man, Kingman, Merlin (from the 70's), Tomytronic 3D game "Planet Zeon" - these ALL still work! I had a cool Space Invaders game too, but a "friend" of mine relieved it of my possession many years ago And of course, I still have my original Atari 2600 (though it is at my Dad's house).

The classic technology of yester year is GREAT to me. As much as I LOVE those old and wonderful things, I always look forward to the NEXT generation of technology... and keep wondering when technology will catch up with my anticipations of technology... if that makes any sense.

My C64 thinks I'm a weirdo.

(check my C64 comic to see what I mean. >_>;;; )

Yeah, I acquired my second c64 off of ebay (my first was given away... grrr)

Well the PI up too the pII and PIII can still be used. Fine not like today's computers that we have today. But with the right software you can still use them in their classical extent. I had found recently a small program over here. that I was looking into that can used at least a PI up to PIII's compuers for a online Bulletin Board systems through the internet. Which sounds symple enough to do. Or use it for something that can be used with other hobbies like electronical model trains.

Just to need to find where they can still be used to some extent and find some recycling centres that you can get used computer parts for them. Thats what I had done. One of my old clients was going to throw out 2 motherboards and one other complete computer without a hard disk, memory and dlippy in. I took them all to see what I can rebuild from them and use them for something more useful for my parents and something else over here. Anything under a PI I wouldn't touch anymore for something that can still use even the older windows environments.

And enough memory for it to still be usable Even my Nextstation that I have here I use to learn a unix ike Operating systems in them. And It doesn't have t be a fast system to work with in oreder to learn with them.
